From the Editor's Desk
Happy New Year to everyone! 2014 is upon us and judging by the press coming out of the CES show this week, it may well be the year of the Internet of Things. Here on the East Coast of the US things started with a cold bang as a “polar vortex” (I am sure that the weather people make these terms up) hit us and in the space of a week temperatures changed by over 60 degrees F (33 C). With strong winds as well, just being outside was very unpleasant. If you or your company needs consulting help in the world of AIDC, then drop me a note and let's chat. High Tech Aid provides consulting on a variety of areas associated with AIDC. Follow my Twitter feed (@RFIDMan) for more current RFID, IOT and AIDC news and information.

Technology News Briefs RFID Standards Standards work has slowed down over the holiday period, but there are already documents being modified and presented for ballots that will start in a few weeks. I expect to see most of the ISO/IEC 29167 series and ISO/IEC 18000-63 in ballot in the next 4-6 weeks. If you want more information on ISO standardization or on any issue of RFID standardization, then email steve@hightechaid.com.
